According to Danieli, the greenfield facility, which will be built near Izmir, will help meet growing demand for canned food packaging and for cold-rolled and annealed thin sheets.

The plant will be equipped to annually produce 250,000 metric tons of tinplate in various grades, 150,000 metric tons of thin, continuous annealed cold-rolled coil in commercial quality, drawing quality and HSS grades; and 500,000 metric tons of semi-finished products, such as electrolytically cleaned, full-hard coils. 

Danieli said the new complex will comprise four process areas: electrolytic cleaning, cold rolling and tempering, electrolytic tinning, and continuous annealing.

The new complex will operate with Danieli Automation electrical equipment and control systems.

The plant is to start coming on-line beginning in late 2024.
